I purchased this topper and a glass aquarium after my daughters gerbil literally ate the previous 2 plastic cages we had purchased. I found out the hard way that gerbils will chew through the plastic tubes, the plastic ramps, and anything else they can get to. This topper is made of steel, and gives our gerbil room to run and explore, while allowing him to take a ramp down into the aquarium where he loves to burrow. Best of all....he can't chew through this setup.

Tank Topper is Perfect!

This tank topper is well built and perfect to expand my daughter's gerbils' habitat. It adds a large second level and even a small third level. It is a must have if you're going to get gerbils. This and a cheap 10 gallon aquarium make a great home for two gerbils. It clamps easily to an aquarium and gives a well vented hangout of the gerbils. It's also a nice place for them to get their sunflower seed treats and chew up their toilet paper rolls. It's also perfect to mount their water bottle on. I couldn't be happier with this purchase.

Great Cage

This cafe fits nicely and tightly on standard 10-gallon aquariums creating a very nice 3-level "condo" for my daughter's two gerbils. The aquarium level is used for sleeping and burying themselves in layers of stuff. The 2nd level has their water, exercise wheel, and other items unimpeded by all the material below. The penthouse is where their food dish is. The two gerbils love running up and down all of the levels and really seem to enjoy this setup. Highly recommend this product. Very we'll built.

My gerbils love this little high-rise. I did have it on a 10 gallon aquarium but felt it was still to small for 2 gerbils. I have since placed it on top of a 20 gallon aquarium with simple alterations.The gerbils love running up and down. They really enjoy the penthouse as they can get fresh air and with the large door on top it makes it really easy to pet them and give them treats. Love their little penthouse suite!

Really good for the money!

I bought 2 of the high-rises for my two 10 gallon tanks that I have my hamsters in. My two are Syrian,and love it! They get their exercise going up and down the ramps.It was so easy to put together! I love the idea of the mesh bottom, so that my fur babies won't get hurt. It fits comfortably on top of the 10 gallon tanks, and I'm not worried about them escaping.We did have to crimp the ramps and second level to make sure that the babies didn't get hurt, but that was all. It was an easy fix.

Way to small

A ten gallon aquarium is MUCH to small for any hamster. The reason I gave the rating a two is because it does give slightly more space to a otherwise extremely overcrowded 10 gallon tank. I bought this 10g tank topper a couple years back to give my Syrian more room, but was still much to small. I later upgraded to a 110 quart bin cage (which is the smallest size bin you can use for a hamster) and added this on top. As you can see in the pictures, the bin is about TWICE as big as the tank topper. The TT fits the bare essentials, I can't imagine someone only use a ten gallon aquarium.

The price of the TT is insane. $40 for a piece of poorly made metal? Worse money I've spent in a long time, I do not recommend it. I've seen them selling for even more then that. The bin I bought costed me $15 and is twice the size.

Any who, my hamster enjoys the extra space it gives for her little penthouse/loft. It leaves me room in the bottom of the bin to fill it up with 5/6 inches of bedding for her to barrow and dig like a real hamster (which isn't pictured, forgot to add her extra bedding when i took the picture!)

Djungian hamsters

I purchased this to see if my djungian hamsters would be ok. Perfect size for the 2 of them.Their feet do not go through the wire as its small squares. I love it. Will be getting another for my other 2

Love it!!!!!

I bought this topper for my two dwarf hamsters. They absolutely loved it! It gives plenty of extra room and ventilation. I like the looks of this one more than any other and the fact that there are no tubes. I also love that it has a full mesh floor instead of just a section. The whole thing is wonderful. I really wish they would make this exact one for a 20 long. I usually line the flooring with fleece so the mesh won't hurt their little feet. I only use it because these two don't eat or chew it which could be harmful.

I did move them out of it and into a 20long to change things up. My only issue with the topper was if I wanted to get them out from the tank I had to remove the whole topper.

I do have a Syrian now And I am adding the topper to her tank tonight. I am considering getting a second 10 gallon tank and topper and putting the dwarfs back in one too.

My hamster loves it

I bought this for my hamster and she loves it! It took a while for her to get used to it but it was so worth it, I woke up in the middle of the night hearing the cage banging and when I went to look I saw her climbing all over the roof and walls, such a great product!

Definitely a GOOD BUY!

My husband and I bought this product to give our two gerbils extra room. The topper add almost the same amount of space as adding another 10 gal. tank on top of the one we have, would have. I am definitely satisfied with the purchase.Pros: More space for you small critters, easy to use ramps, water bottles and wheels attach easily.Cons: Bedding, food, etc gets pushed through the bars real easily (just like with any cage with bars), the only opening is at the top of the topper, making it difficult to allow your critters the ability to come out on their own.

My gerbils love it!

I felt like my 2 gerbils needed a little more space than a ten gallon aquarium. I don't have a lot of space so this was the perfect solution. It also solved the problem of my gerbils moving their wheel around the tank and banging it on the glass. The wheel easily attached to the cage and is noise free!
